Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets Of Knowledge For Your Noggin’ – (5/15/24)

Here are Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ – on this Wednesday, May 15th, 2024. Let’s learn something together:

1. A recent survey found 52% of people couldn’t name a single famous Asian American.  9% named the actor Jackie Chan, who’s not American.
2. Rowlf the Dog has played the most instruments of any Muppet in either their TV shows or their movies.  He’s best known for being behind the piano, but he’s played nine other instruments too.
3. An arcade game based on “TRON” hit arcades shortly after the movie came out in 1982 and made more money than the film.  (Possibly from people hoping they’d get transported into the game?)
4. There are 18 stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame where people are only identified by one name, including Houdini, Liberace, Ludacris, Pink, Roseanne, Shakira, Slash, Sting, and Usher.
5. Catfish have the best sense of taste of any animal, they have more than 100,000 taste buds all over their bodies.  Humans have about 10,000 taste buds, and they’re all on our tongue.  Chickens have the fewest, with just 24.

Be sure to share these 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ with your family, friends & coworkers at some point today!
